Description

Explore the fascinating history of the arabesque in this scholarly work from Routledge. The Arabesque from Kant to Comics tracks the life and afterlife of this visual concept, following its journey from an iconoclastic literary theory in early German Romanticism to its role in aesthetic experimentation. This book examines how the arabesque transformed through different eras, moving from avant-garde art into popular culture. It looks at the period when the style became a staple in book illustrations, poetry publications, and the decoration of printed scores. Readers will discover how the subversive potential of the arabesque survived in unexpected places, most notably within the comic strip. This study provides a deep look at how a single aesthetic idea can evolve from high theory to mainstream visual media, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers of art history and visual studies.
